Find Private Chefs in Devon
Exeter, Dartmouth, Salcombe, Totnes and the north Devon coast: a chef who comes to you, wherever you're staying.
Devon has two coastlines, Dartmoor and Exmoor between them, and fishing ports such as Brixham bringing in fish and shellfish. For a private chef, that means some of the best seafood, meat and dairy in the country on the doorstep.
Many bookings here are holiday-home celebrations: a birthday in Salcombe, a family reunion near Dartmouth or a surf-weekend supper on the north coast at Croyde or Woolacombe. Holiday kitchens vary, so share the details with the chef before they write the menu.
Devon is a big county with slow roads in summer. Ask how each chef charges for travel, and book early for school holidays.
Private Chef Finder is a directory. Browse the chefs below, contact the ones you like directly, and agree the menu, price and details with them.
